about

I woke up one morning & the birds were singing. The sunlight was streaming into my room. I got up to greet the day & gazed out of my window. The street was full of police vans & people in bullet-proof vests. Two snipers were leaning over the bonnet of a car, pointing their rifles at the door of a house. It was someone else's door, someone else’s house. That time, anyway.

lyrics

i am not, nor have i ever been, a communist
i don't know just how i ended up upon your list
but i don't agree with what you do
or anything you say

take me to guantanamo bay
take me to guantanamo bay

i suppose i may have spoken to an anarchist
at some demonstration telling me i should resist
they said you have no right to silence
no matter what you say

& then they took him to guantanamo bay
they took him to guantanamo bay

the police outside are saying i'm a terrorist
& now i feel the quickcuffs tightening around my wrists
everyone has got a gun
except for me these days

everywhere's guantanamo bay
everywhere's guantanamo bay
everywhere's guantanamo bay
